From the National Capital.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:

~ THE EDlIOR Of THE hlkhALDs
Washington. ID. c.. June %, 1887
IL is now generally believed that the
President has concluded that there will
be no necessity for an extra session,
of Congress. He has continually ex-
pressed himself as opposed to an extra
session and has concluded that
"a call of Congress is not
at all necessary and has so
expressed himself to several prominent
men who have conversed with him upon
the subject. The fears vi the New
York financiers that there was danger
of stringency in the money market.
has alone caused the administration TO
consider the dem ands for m extra ses.
sion. and these fears have been dispcl-
led by the Comptroller of the Currency
who states that the business OF the
country is in good condition gener-
ally. a safe and satisfactory business
is being done, and there is nothing 10
cause an apprehension of any financial
disarrangement
Since the issue of silver certificates
commenced few months since. silver
coin has accumulated in tho Treasury
at such rate as TO by far exceed the
storage capacity Of the silver vaults
and there is, at the present time up
wards of $S0,000.0OO. in coin. packed
in kegs and boxes, and stored in tho
corridors in the basement of the build
ing. A guard, armed with Winchester
repeating rifles is maintained night and
day in each of the Railways leading to
the treasure. a large force of work
men aro engaged in constructing a
vault for the reception of this coin but
although the work is being pushed for
ward night and day. it will necessarily
be several months before the vault
will be completed, and in the mean time
the guard will be retained in the hall
ways.
During the recent visit of Mr.. Jay
Gould TO Mt. Vernon, he learned that
the Mount Vernon Association were
anxious 10 purchase a tract of ground
adjoining the old Washington home
stead. The land in question had re-
Gently been placed upon the market,
but the financial condition of the Assoc
citation was such rs to prevent them
from making the purchase, and it was
feared that the opportunity offered to add
to the size and attractiveness of the
ground would have to be abandone d.Mr.
Gould listened attentively to the state
ment of the case, and few days after
his departure, the officers Of the Associ-
alton received communication from
him in which he stated that he pur-
chased the coveted land, and that as
soon rs the necessary transfer papers
could be executed, that he would pro-
sent II To the Association.
Notwithstanding the exceedingly
warm weather which has prevailed
during the week, there appears to have
been no diminution in the activity Of
real-estate and building interest. Ex-
tensive transfers of both city and sub
urban property are reported daily. and
several extensive apartment houses are
being commenced. The Hon. Levi p.
Morton, of New York has purchased
a valuable site at the corner of II and
Fifteenth streets and will at once com
mence the erection of an apartment
house which will cost several hundred
thousand dollars. ii.

To have touched Heaven. and failed TO enter
in!
All Elsa prone upon tho lonely shore,
Watching the swan-wings beat along the
blue,
Watching the glitter of the silver mail.
Like flash of foam, till all are lost - vewl
He cOmeth nevermore.
All gone the new hope of thy yesterday
The tender gaze and strong, like dewy fire,
Tho gracious form with airs with Heaven
bedght,
The love that warmed thy being like a sun;
Thou hadst thy choice of MONDAY OF OF
night;
Now the swart shadows gather, one by one,
To give thee thy desired
To every life one heavenly chance befals;
To every soul moment, big with fate,
When, grown importunate with need and
fear
II cries for help and, 10! from close at hand,
The voice Celestial answers, 81 am here"
o, blessed souls, made wise 10 understand,
Made brayely glad to wait!
But thou pale watcher on the lonely shore,
Where the surf thunders and the fOam-bells
fly,
Is there no place for penitcnce and pain
No saving grace In thy all-piteous rucl
win the bright vision never come againY
Alas, the swan.wings vanish IN the blue
There cometh no reply.
Susan Coolidge in Scrihncr's Magazine.

Changed Yes, ! win confess It, I have
changed;
do not love you In tho old fond way;
] am your friend still: time has not estranged
One kindly feeling Of that vanished day.
But the sweet clamor that made life dream,
The rapture Of that time, its glad content,
Like visions of n vanished home they seem
And yet cannot tell you why they went
Why do you gaze with such accusing eyes
Upon me dearY Is IL so very strange
That hearts, like all things underneath Gods
skies,
Should sometimes feel the influence Of
changer
The birds, the flowers, the foliage of trees,
Vast continents and the eternal seas
An these do change with ever changing time.
The face our mirror shows US year on year
Is not the same. Our dearest aim or need,
Our lightest thought or feeling, hope or fear
All, all, this law Of alienation heed.
How can We ask the human heart to stay
Content with fances Of youths earliest
hoursl
The year outgrows the violets OF May,
Alfho maybe II inds no fairer flowers.
And life may hold no swecter love than this.
Which lies so cold, so voiceless and so dumb,
"And will miss II, dearY" Why, yes, We miss
The violets always--til tho roses come.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

DENTAL NOTICE.

When it appeared that the Romish
church was seeking to check freedom of
thought and speech concerning tenn
poral matters, DIR. McGlynn had the
sympathy of the country; but when he
eulogized Henry George in Chicago
Sunday as great, good, self-sacrific-
ing, truthful man, while at the same
time the latter was reviling the head of
the church to which the priest processes
to belong as ''an organ-grinder with
Cardinal Simeoni for his monkey" the
thought that there is two sides to that
question was suggested. While George
may not have made much progress with
his land theories, he has certainly exer-
cised very ''liberalizing" influence
over Dr. McGlynn and over McGlynn's
former parishioners. Many of the
latter were among those who vigorously
applauded the Georgian comparison of
the successor of Peter and his "Sec-
rotary of State" to ian organ-grinder
and his monkey"

peach orchard, wheattield and Valley of
Death. Time did not permit us to climb
Round Top, We decended between the
Round Tops and passing Devils Den,
struck the Emmittsburg Pike near the
peach orchard. The old orchard had
died out but the proprietor had replaced
the dead trees with young ones which
were then in full bloom.
From this place TO Cemetery Hill,
along the Emmttsburg and fancy town
Pike, near the whcatfield and peach
orchard the tablets and monuments are
numerous and of the oldest designs.
We returned TO the hotel for supper.
A camp fire was held in the G. A. r.
Hall during the evening. Owing to the
exhausted condition of the members of
he 81 Regt. the political debate of the
previous evening was not resumed.
Next morning the commission met
and elected one ont of each organization
as an executive committee. Capt l. E.
Pond was selected chairman and Ii. J.
Huntington secretary, all future meet
ings were to be called at the time and
place designated by the chairman.
During the day the commission broke
camp, some going home, others to visit
friends and see sights in the East In
concluding | cannot forbear to mention
the interest taken by Gov. Rusk, Senator
Sawyer, Congressman Clark and the
ladies accompanying us, they were on
hand early and late, as eager to listen to the
vivid descriptions of the battles by Col.
Bachelor as those who had been en-
gagged
In making this sketch | have been
aided to some extent by maps. charts
and documents of various kinds to get
correct data, memory connected all by
the incidents of travel
In the future l shall make known the
action of the commission in contracting
for the monuments The commission
has been called together the goth Of this
month at Milwaukee, and will probably
have determined the kind of granite and
design to be adopted before this paper
will reach the press
This closes my sketch. If the readers
of the HERALD have been repaid for the
time spent in perusing this article,
shall feel amply repaid for the attempt
made to inform the public of the Incl
dents of a trip to Gettysburg.

following from the Richmond Dispatch
is sample:
1t has been said that it is the man
who does another wrong who never
forgives or forgets. The wrouged man
often heartily forgives. Wecannot but
be reminded of this saying when we
see the malignant indignation which
has been manifested in the Northern
States on account of the order recently
issued (Since countermanded) for the
return to the Several States of the bat
tle-Aags which have been captured ia
battle during the war between the

for such violent outbreaks of temper?
We throw out this hint for the benefit
